Post-match interview with Maurício

Maurício, what was it like taking that penalty, at such a decisive moment, with Neuer right there?

If I got butterflies in my stomach, what went through your head at that moment?

I don't know what to tell you, I think since the game I was already praying, already asking

for guidance, I already knew more or less where I was going to shoot, I already had a direction in mind,

but of course I was there praying the whole time, thinking the whole time about what I could

do, I was very, very fortunate, and I think we really deserved it.

Man, Maurício, congratulations, we are very, very, very proud of you.

Man, it was incredible, it really was, the whole of Brazil stopped to watch, to cheer for you.

No, I also want to thank the Brazilian people, and the Paraguayan people too who watched,

I think it was a hard-fought battle, we showed our grit, our determination,

I'm feeling very good physically too, so now it's time to rest and enjoy today.

Paraguay loves you, everyone asking for you to be a starter, that's all.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, a kiss to everyone.
